Chickpea flour chips with chilli sauce from East: 120 Vegetarian and Vegan Recipes from Bangalore to Beijing (page 225) by Meera Sodha

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    These were actually pretty good. I was a bit concerned it would be inedible after first tasting the mixture, which seemed inedibly salty. But once cooked, it wasn’t a problem (though I would just do 3/4 teaspoon salt next time). We were thinking these would be a great vegan alternative for fish sticks in a fish finger sandwich.

    Can anyone in the UK give me the metric measurements for the ingredients, esp. the chickpea flour? Making these for the second time and for some reason the quantity of batter was way less than last time. N.A. edition says "1 scant cup (7 oz) chickpea flour" and I'm wondering if the first time I did 7 oz by weight instead of volume. (Somehow I can't get up the energy to complain to the US publisher to include the original metric measurements alongside the US translation, particularly for a Canadian audience, but so frustrating...)

    Surprisingly nice, crispy outside and soft inside. Can make the chips then leave in the fridge before frying to order.

    I was a little surprised at how good these were! Crisp on the outside and nice and creamy in the middle. I had to cook the mixture on the stovetop a lot longer than 12 minutes, I probably made it to 20 and it was only barely starting to pull away from the pan. The recipe says to use an 8-inch pan and cut in half then in strips; I found the 4-inch pieces a bit long and they tended to break when I was frying them, so I might do thirds next time. I also want to strategize another dipping sauce as the ketchup-sriracha mixture was fine but I think one could do better... and yes, they do require more oil than the recipe says, but not that much more, maybe 2 tbsp with each batch? I did mine in 2 1/2 batches in my medium pan.

    Needs about 10x as much oil as stated because these soak up the oil like crazy. I followed the recipe precisely but the result was too soft. The middle sort of melted making something that looked a bit like an eclair and wanted to fall apart. Ok, but not a repeat.
